,Fig. 8 is an elevational view of a template for producing contour turning upon the turning machine.

This invention relates to machines upon which articles can be produced by longitudinal and transverse turning operations. The conventional practice in turning machines and particularly lathes has been to center a piece of work stock between the spindle of a lathe and the tailstock when working upon the stock. The work stock has always been supported by the spindle of the turning machine, and if the workpiece was to be of any length, the opposite end would be centered into the tailstock. Also, it is conventional to use a compound toolsupport carried upon a suitable carriage so that both transverse and longitudinal turning can be produced. It has not been practical to produce long slender pieces upon conventional turning machines because the stock flexes between the spindle and the tailstock. Also, the long slender pieces were required'to be centered accurately so that there could be a semblance of accuracy in the finished work.

In this invention there is provided a turning machine of a type that may be considered to be a lathe upon which workpieces of any length can be produced and which eliminates the necessity of any centering operation. The machine consists of a bed Ill that is provided with ways I! and |2 that extend longitudinally along the bed ID. A headstock I3 is supported upon the bed Ill and is constructed and arranged for receiv.-. ing a spindle M. The spindle I4 is driven by means of a belt I 5 that extends between a pulley 16 on the spindle I4 and a pulley l1, that is keyed to a drive shaft l8 bearinged in the bed H) at opposite ends thereof as shown in Fig. 1. Thedrive shaft l8 carries a pulley I9 that receives a belt which extends over a pulley 21 secured to a shaft 22 extending from a gear change mech anism 23 that is driven by an electric motorZA.

A control handle 25 is provided for the ar chan e mechanism for regulating the speed ratio between the sh ft .22 and the motor shaft 26. Suitable steps 2'! are provided in the gear change mechanism in which the handle25 may be placed for changing the operating ratio thereof.

A carriage is supported upon the ways I! and I2 of the bed Ill. The carriage consists of a hor z ntal platform 3| that supports a work stock supporting member 32 through which the work stock 33 extends when being operated upon by the turning tools in the tool support 34 pivotally secured to the work stock support member 32 bymeans of a pivot pin35.

,The carriage 30 is provided with an apron 3'6 that supports the half nuts 31 thatenga ea lead sore-W38 bearinged .to the bed 10 by means of the bearing member 39 and extending into a gear change mechanism 40. A control handle 4| opcrates the half nuts 31 to cause them to engage the lead screw 38 when it is desired to operate .thecarriage from a power source,

The gear change mechanism 40 is similar to the gear'change mechanism 23 for changing the speed ratio between the .lead screw 38 and the spindle M, the lead screw 38 being driven from the spindle 14 through a gear 42 carried upon the pulley 16. The gear 42 engages a spur gear li3 carried upon a shaft 44 that is bearinged in theheadstock l3 as shown in Fig.2. The gear A3 carries a beveled gear 44' that engages a beveled gear .45 carried upon a shaft 46 that drives the gear change mechanism. The gear change mechanism 40 controls the speed ratio between the spindl I 4 and the lead .screw3-8 for controlling the speed of longitudinal movement of the carriage30 over the bed ID of the machine.

The carriage 30 is also manually operated for longitudinal movement by means of --a gear 4 7 see Fig. 3, that engages-a rack .43 carried upon the bed Ill. The gear 41 ,is rotated by means of a suitable micrometer .control mechanism 49 provided with a handle .50.

The spindle of the machine disposed within the headstock .13 consists of ashaft 5| that is-bearinged in one end .of the headstock 13 by mean of a ball bearing 52 that is retained theend wall 53 of the headstock 13 by means o a ing 54 andthe bolts 55 to preload the earing 52 a thus eliminate end play in the shaft 5!, The shaft 5| carries the pulley 16 that is secured thereon by means of the-nut 56..and keyed thereto by means of the key 57. As shown in F-ig. ,2, thep lley l6 and the gearM fordriving the gear change mechanism 40 are fomed as an integral part if desired. The shaft 5| is provided with an internal bore 58 that extends axially throughout the length of the shaft 5|. The bore 58 is enlarged in one end thereof as shown at 59 to receive a sleeve 60 that has an internal bore of the same diameter as the internal bore 58. A second sleeve BI is slidably disposed in the internal bore 59 and.is provided with ahead 62 that is disposed within a recess 63 provided in a sleeve 64 that is externally threaded upon-the shaft 5!. A spring 65 is disposed between the sleeves 60 and 6| for urging the sleeve 6| forwardly when the sleeve 60 is moved forwardly by means of suitable mechanism hereinafter described.

' the work stock 33 extending therethrough when t e sleeve 6! urg s thec llet fi'fiforwardly aga th end of the s ee e 64,

Th sle ve 60 is eci rooet d ith nthe bore 5 y means of l e s 69 pivoted upon thepins ill. The levers 69 have ears II that engagethe 7 end of the sleeve 60, and have arms 12 adapted to ride upon the cam surface 73 for pivoting :each

lever 59 about the pin 10 to move the ears H' in a leftward direction as viewed in Fig. 2'to release the sleeve 60 and thus relieve the sleeve 61 to permit the collet B5 to'expand andirelease the work stock 33.

The cam surface 13 that operates the'levers 69 is provided ona collar 74 that slides upon the shaft 5!, ball bearings 15 being provided between the collar 14 and a yoke 16 that is engaged'by pins 11 carried upon arms '18 actuated'by means of the control handle 19, From the foregoing description it will become apparent that thework stoek33 extends through the spindle |4,'and that the spindle I4 drives the work stock through frictional engagement of the collet'fifi. The work stock'33 extendsithrough the work stock support S'Zthat'supports the same immediately adjacent the turning tools carried upon the work stock support member. The work stock support member 32 .of this invention is constructed and arranged, in a .manner that it is power driven at the speed of rotation of the work stock so that there Will be no bearing 'friction between the work stock and the support member. However, the work stock supportmember may be a stationar bearing member if desired.

The work stock support member .80 is supported within an upright 8| extending verticall rfrom the platform 3] of the carriage .33. The work stock support member consists of a sleeve 82 that is provided with a transverse bore 83 through which the work stock 33 extends. The bore 33 has a reduced diameter portion 84 that is adapted to accuratelyengage the surface of the work stock 33. The sleeve 82 is slid-ably disposed in a sleeve 85 that is provided with a tapered wallet adapted to engage a tapered wall 8.1 on the sleeve 82. The sleeve 85 is provided with a shoulder .38 adapted to provide a suitable stop member for a ball heari 89 supported upon the sleeve 85. A sprocket g ar 90 is placed upon the sleeve 85iadjacent the ball bearing 89 and is keyed to the-sleeve 85 by means of the key member :9 I. A second ball bearing 92 is placed upon the sleeve 85 adjacent the sprocket gear 90 and is retained in position by sprocket 90 are retained in assembled relationship upon the sleeve 85. r

The upright 8| has a transverse bore 94 that receives bearing support members 95 and 90 for positioning the bearings 89 and 92 within the upright 8|. The bearing support members 95 and 96 are retained to the upright BI by means of bolts 91 and 98, respectively, A dust and oil trap 99 is provided adjacent the bearing 89.

A plate I is carried by a nut IOI that-is threaded upon the end I02 of the sleeve 82. A plurality of springs I03 is disposed radially about the plate I00 and are positioned between the plate I00 and the nut 93 to urge the plate in a leftward direction and thus cause frictional engagement between the sleeve 82 and the work stock 33 at the reduced diameter portion 84 of the sleeve 82. Bolts I04 extend through the plate I00 into threaded engagement with the nut 93, the heads of the bolts I04 preventing outward movement of the plate I00 when thework stock 33 is removed from within the sleeve 82.

The sprocket 90 is driven by means of a chain I05 that extends through a cored passageway I05 provided in the upright 8|, and which extends into engagement with a sprocket I0i secured to a sleeve I03 that is slidably disposed upon the drive shaft I0. A key I09 is provided between the sleeve I08 and the shaft I8 and is adapted to slide within the keyway provided in the shaft I8, a gib head II 0 being provided upon the key I09 that extends into a groove III in the sleeve I08 to prevent longitudinal movement pf the key I09 with respect to the sleeve I08.

The sleeve I08 carries ball bearings H2 and H3 that are retained in position by means of collars H4 and H5, respectively, secured to the sleeve I08 by means of the set screws I I5 and H1. The ball bearings H2 and H3 are carried within the bearing support members I I 8 and I I0, respectively, that are disposed within a transverse bore I20 provided in the lower end of the upright 8|. The bearing support members H3 and H9 are secured to end plates I2! and I22, respectively, by means of bolts I23 and I24, the plates I2I and 8| by means of the bolts I25 and I26, respectively. Packing glands I21 and I28 are provided in the end plates I2I and I22, respectively, to retain the lubricant within the cored passageway I03 of the upright 8|.

It will be readily apparent that since the spindle I4 and the work stock support member 80 are both driven by a common drive shaft I8 that their re spective speeds of rotation will always be the same; the gear change mechanism 23 changing the speed of rotation of the drive shaft I8 and thus changing the speed of rotation of the spindle I4 and the work stock support member 30.

The turning tools I29 and I30 for producing the turning operations upon the machine of this invention are carried within tool holders I3I and I32, respectively, the tool holders being carried by the tool support 34. The tool support 34 is adapted to be rocked upon the pivot 35 for moving the tools I29 and I30 transversely of the work stock 33 and thus produce transverse turning upon the work stock. To rock the tool. support 34 upon the pivot 35, a constant rise 0am I 33 is provided and is mounted upon a shaft I34 that is bearinged in the horizontal'platform 3i. The opposite end of the shaft I34 carries a micrometer actuating device I35 for rotating the shaft and thus for rotating the constant rise cam I33.

A follower arm I36 is secured to the. tool sup- I22 being secured to the upright port 34 and is in engagement with the surface of the constant rise cam I33. A spring I31 maintains the follower in engagement with the cam surface. The micrometer device I35 for rotating the cam I33 is so calibrated that each degree of rotation of the micrometer device is equal to a predetermined rise on the surface of the constant rise cam I33 for producing a-determined transverse movement of the turning tools I29 and I30 with respect to the axis of the work stock" 33. Therefore, the depth of movement of the turning tools can be accurately measured. A conventional friction drive is provided between the micrometer device I35 and the cam I33 so that the micrometer device can be set to zero positionregardless of the position occupied by the cam I33 so that the depth of any transverse out made by the tools I29 and I30 can be measured from a zero position on the micrometer device I35.

The tool holders I3I and !32 may each be provided with a micrometer adjustment for accurately locking the position of the cutting edge of the turning tools carried independently, both transversely and longitudinally with respect to the work stock. Themicro-meter adjustment I38 is provided for regulating the movement of the tool holder I3I transversely with respect to the work stock 33, while a micrometer adjustment I39 is provided for moving the tool holder I3Ilongitudinally of the work stock 33 and thus position the cutting edges of the turning tools I29 and I30 in proper position with respect to one another. The tool holder I32 may be provided with the same kind of micrometer adjustments.

One of the micrometer adjustments of theltool holderis shown in Fig. 5 which in this instance is the adjustment for the longitudinal position of the turning tool I29 with respect to the work stock .33. The tool holder I3I. is. provided with a shaft I40 that is slidable in a bore I4I provided in the support member I42 that is carried upon thetool support 34. A threaded member I43 extends within a. threaded bore I44 provided inthe shaft I40, rotation of which causes axial movementrof the shaft I40 to adjust the position of the tool holder I3I.

If desired, an auxiliary tool I45 may be carried' upon the work stock support member 32. The auxiliary tool I45 is carried in a tool holder I46 slidably mounted upon the work stocksupport member 32. in any suitable. manner. Spring pressed pins I41 urge the tool holder. in an upward direction against the pin I48 adjustably positioned within the actuating-arm I49 pivoted upon a pin I50 carried in an arm I5I1. The'pin I48 is adjustable within the. arm I49; by means of amicrometer adjustment I52; A stop I53 is provided for limiting'the movement of the arm I49 and thus, control the depth of movement of the tool I45 into the work stock 33.

In the foregoing description it will become apparent that the machine of this invention is capable of producing a workpiece of any length regardlessfiof the slenderness, or the length of the workpiece involved. The work stock 33 is continuously supported immediately adjacent the point of engagement of the turning tools with the work. stock, and therefore the accuracy of concentric turning on the work stock is greatly in-' creased. Also, since the work stock is supported immediately adjacent the point of turning, the stock may be turned to an extremely small diameter without any danger. of breakage of the stock during the turning operation or without loss of concentricity because of any vibration of support member the Work as caused by -a small diameter section in the turned article. The turningmachine thus becomes a Icenterless machine because the work stock will always be maintained concentric with the axis of the spindle of the machine .through means of the work stock support member 80. The amount of stock that has been turned and which extends beyond the work stock support member will 'inno way effect the accurate turning of the stock that is immediately adjacent the work stock support member 80.

To operate the machine, the work stock 33 is fed through the spindle I4 and extended beyond the spindle I4 a sufficient amount to produce a full length of the desired article. The work stock 133 is fed through the work stock support member 80. In order to produce the desired turned diameters upon the work stock 33, the tool support 34 is rocked upon the pivot 35 by means of rotation of the constant rise cam I33, whereby one or the other of the turning tools I29 and I30 are advanced toward the axis of the work stock 35 to a desired depth which is indicated by the micro meter control device I35. The carriage 30 is then moved longitudinally along the ways I I and I2 by mean of the handle 50, the micrometer device 49 indicating the length of the longitudinal out being made. The turning operation is always begun at the outer end of the work stock 33 so that the stock that extends through the work stock support member 80 will always be supported by the sleeve-82 in the work stock support member. By moving the carriage from right to left, as shown in Fig. 1, the turning operations for producing various diameters and various length cuts can proceed, each out being maintained accurately concentrically because the work stock is always supported adjacent the turning tools. It is readily apparent the length of the article to be produced is limited only by the length of travel of the carriage 30,

The sprocket I01 for driving the work stock 80 is slidable along the drive shaft I 8, and is movable with the carriage 30 since the upright 8| i integral with the carriage 30. Therefore, the sleeve 82 of the work stock support member will be driven at the same speed as the work stock to eliminate bearing friction between the. work stock and the support member.

If it is desired to power feed the carriage at any time, the half nuts 31 can be clamped upon the lead screw 38 for driving the carriage in either direction of movement, suitable reversing mechanism being can be released after the carriage has traveled in a leftward direction so that it can be returned in a rightward direction by means of the manual control handle 50. The speed of rotation of the lead screw 38 is, of course, controlled by the gear change mechanism 40. I

The ratio of speed of rotation between the lead screw 38 and the work stock 33 determines the rated travel of the carriage longitudinally along the work stock. Thus, by properly regulating the gear change mechanism 40, suitable threading operations can be performed upon the work stock by means of the turning tool I29 and I30.

If it is desired to produce special contours upon the stock 33, such as tapers, curves and others, the manual control I35 for the tool support 34 can be disconnected, or the cam I33 removed to permit the follower I36 to engage a template, or a separate follower can be provided to engage a template I54, as shown in Fig. 8. The follower I55 upon engaging the template I 54 is adapted through which bar stock provided, if desired, or the half nuts spindle synchronously.

to rock the tool support 34 upon the pivot 35 and thu regulate the depth of advancementv of one of theturning tools I29 and I30 in the work stock. Since the follower I55 will accurately transmit the depth of the valleys in the template I54 to the tool support 34, and will accurately transmit the length of the lands of the template I54 to the tool support 34, it isreadily apparent that a complicated contour can readily be produced upon the machineof this invention by use of an inexpensive template. Suitable means, of course, is provided for adjusting the relationship between the template and the follower I55 so that the tools will begin their turning operation at the proper depth and at the proper longitudinal position upon the work stock 33.

While the apparatus hereinshows a preferred form of the invention, yet it is to be understood that the apparatus is capable of substantial mechanical alteration without departing from the spirit of the invention, and that all such modifications as fall within the-scope of the appended claims are intended to beincluded herein.
